@@kermitsghost I do indeed cherish the times. Even thinking about getting him involved for another video. Think he might chat about the state of Star Wars between the movies and (some) of the tv shows. He was well rewarded for good behaviour ! Have a merry Christmas x

@@Wally_stad merry Christmas buddy 🎄 🎅🏻 Sending love to you and yours x

@@SimonBKelly thanks Simon, I think he’ll be wanting to do more videos very soon. Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas x

@@jeremycarr3448 thanks Jeremy. I’ll let him know you enjoyed.

And a Very Merry Christmas to you too 👍🏼

@@lp7399 Merry Christmas. Hope you have a nice break lined up ? Take care and speak to you very soon ✌🏼

@@mikee1985 exactly. I bet he didn’t even know we had the Star Wars stuff on disc. Did like chatting to him about what he thinks about some things. Found it interesting what he pulled from the sonic 3 story threads.

@@WorldMoneyWins glad you enjoyed it. He is becoming more and more interested in me doing video. Who knows, he might think about something he wants to talk about on videos. He already wants access to simple editing software 😂

@@alexpattison6448 oh there’s some getting up and moving around. Not that it makes it any better 🤷🏼‍♂️ but, my wife enjoyed it. I’m sure there are others out there that did too. Just not one that I can personally recommend (as you probably guessed)

@PhillwithadoubleL Glad to hear your wife enjoyed it at least. 👍

@ just need to explain to her why she’s wrong 😂

@@PhillwithadoubleL 🤣👍 In my experience Netflix films are more miss than hit the last one I enjoyed was The Killer with Michael Fassbender.

@@stuartobrien78 not one I’ve been keeping an eye out for. Fee other things that are taking priority for viewing at the moment.

@@iloveblue7920 because… I was young and bullied and stuck out like a sore thumb because of my height… I wanted to fit in. I needed something to feel normal. I don’t want to deep dive into the baggage that I had but I felt I needed something at the time to be ‘a normal boy’. I just needed something that others could relate to or chat around rather than it being the thing about me that stuck out (my height). As a young man I struggled to find my place. I didn’t need other things that made me even more ‘different’

Marvel I was into at a point, they’ve just fallen off a bit for me recently. DC is patchy, particularly over the last few years. Big fan of the Reeves Superman movies though (a little nostalgia leading the way for that)

Absolutely agree. The scalpers are out there ripping money out of your hand if you’re feeling desperate. When a Blu Ray is OOP, generally I’ll just look back towards a standard edition or a previous DVD release. Sometimes a DVD is enough to quench that thirst

A simple mix up 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@iloveblue7920 because I’m a collector. We all do it. So much unseen… it’s not that I don’t want to watch them. I do. Sometimes, other life stuff has to take priority. My videos are about my struggles with the addiction to collecting… and other people’s struggles too. I’m honest about it. I lay it all out there. I can’t always explain the addiction, it just is… an addiction. Sometimes it takes me longer to work through, realise what I’m doing and that I have a problem. Doing the videos helps me think things through. My purchasing habits aren’t as bad as they used to be. It’s something I’m working through. I love movies, I have an addiction to collecting them. I love that for some it’s as easy as saying ‘plan your buying’ but sometimes it just isn’t that simple for someone struggling with that addictive behaviour.

@@iloveblue7920 I didn’t order 4 titles. I just went for 3… inglorious basterd, the gift and usual suspects… went for them because they’re all great films. I didn’t order The Cell because it wasn’t a movie I cared enough for. Glenn on the other hand, he did. The Keep, I’m not too bothered about personally, I’m not going to chase it down and pay a premium to have it just because it’s released by a boutique label. If the opportunity comes around I might grab a cheap copy to check it out but it’s not one I’m searching for personally. Of course there are others that went nuts for it… and it’s nice that fans now have an option for the upgrade if they want it.

@@iloveblue7920 I want No Country for Old Men too. For the criterion edition the 4k ‘should’ be region free but the Blu Ray will be region A locked. It’s on my hit list for the next Barnes & Noble Criterion sale… along with a couple of others.

@@stuartobrien78 it’s amazing the value of some of the tapes. I have no idea in terms of what’s rare or collectable at the moment… but having the video shop close by I’m starting to see little trends among collectors. $180 is a mighty high price tag 🏷️ any temptation to look at selling or is it a special collector item for you ?

@@stuartobrien78 to some extent kinda regret clearing out some of the older formats. But… I enjoy the space clearing it out has given me. It’s still nice to have that nostalgic dip into these things, something I’m gonna do a little more of. I’ve not seen that VHS tape, maybe one to keep an eye out for when I go along to more of the VHS collector events 🤷🏼‍♂️ There will be more dives into VHS to come !

@@RavenShinyThings Romulus did feel very much its own little thing. A one shot story set within the universe rather than being part of the franchise as a whole. Wondering how this TV show coming up is going to sit within the whole cinematic universe. Feels like they are digging theirselves into a bit of a hole, Weyland Yutani corporation seems to get bigger as an entity with each subsequent movie… to the point now that they seem to be ruling the galaxy as the overlords of everything.

@PhillwithadoubleL well the best stories from the wider alien universe I have seen are the papers back that had mirrored comics done by dark horse. Disney will not admit this and screw it up with their ideas. For instance aliens music of the spears would make an incredible big budget alien film.

@@blujustin4175 those steelbooks and the FOMO are gonna get you every time ! Y’know, I never thought about Fopp while I was knocking around in London, I got one kinda locally to me in Nottingham. It just didn’t cross my mind on this trip. I’ll certainly be watching Twisters and likely enjoy it for what it is. Just not sure it’s something I’ll want to keep in the collection. Time will tell. Tokyo vice was on bbc iplayer when I caught it. You might be able to catch a couple of episodes on there before you dive in to picking up a pricey box set ! Just to see if it’s a show for you. I want to check out a couple of other HMV stores. Amazing how different seem of them feel. Plotting to head to their ‘Vault’ store in Birmingham for a video in the new year. Just a matter of squeezing in some extra time to make the journey. For the record, I’ve still not seen Madame Webb, not sure it’s one I’ll even try. Certainly won’t be looking at picking it up physically. Well, at least I don’t think I will at the moment.

@@MoviePalaceOfBlood got a feeling that Carry On is seeming a bit of a marmite movie. I think I mentioned in the stream that my wife really enjoyed it. I didn’t care for it personally but that’s fine… there are others that will. I like hearing other opinions though ! Romulus I was ok with, I enjoyed being back in the universe, until that last 20 mins which left the sour taste in my mouth. And I agree with you regarding the use of lines from other movies. Not keen when they do it in most things, not only this. Furiosa I’ve not actually seen yet, it’s one of many in my backlog !

@@Baldnesz well this trip, I was already in town for an audition. Time wise, I always have spare time when heading to an audition because I travel early due to the distance. So cost wise for those things, nothing really in this instance. I know what you’re getting at though. If the cost of a special journey and time taken would outweigh the cost of just ordering those titles on release online, right ?

@@shandy1087 getting the same stuff at a fraction of the price 👌🏼 a little patience makes a fair difference price wise.

@@kermitsghost I struggle with the time for viewing at the moment. Can’t see a time in the near future when I’d be able to watch a new release straight away. But soon… right after I’ve conquered my back log !

@@snowymatrix patience did pay off for you on that one then. Don’t buy into anyone else’s bull if they’re giving you 💩 on what films you enjoy. All personal preference ain’t it. Watch what you love ✌🏼 🦊

@@rafficrashid867 it’s seems to be such pot luck trying to guess what will sell out and what you need to pick up sharpish. I just try and consider the title a little more now… do I really need a limited edition of it or will a standard release be fit for purpose ?!

@PhillwithadoubleL Thank you. I'll try to do that.

@@stark_harshly I agree, they are a con to chase for… But I still manage to get sucked into the thought process of needing or wanting it. As much as I say they don’t matter. At times it still dictates a pick up decision 😂

@@alexpattison6448 no clue on the audition yet. It’s the worst part now, putting it out of my head and waiting. I did my job though, focused on the audition as the main job… not what could come from a successful audition. Leave my focus there in the room rather than on what could be. I 100% go in for pre orders for certain titles. Just found myself shifting away from the newer releases and having those pre orders in for re-releases or remasters of older movies. I Carefully consider if it’s going to be limited or likely to be around for a while and offer up some kind of price drop.

@PhillwithadoubleL I agree it's the older remasters that tend to get me pre-ordering as well, Dawn of the Discs was posting about a Dirty Harry 4K biscuit tin next year and I'll be pre-ordering that as soon as I can.

@ just the first movie ? I’m gonna go look for that now !

@@PhillwithadoubleL Dawn of the Discs tweeted about 4K steelbooks for Dirty Harry, Pale Rider and The Outlaw Josey Wales honestly I'm tempted for all three but will definitely go for Dirty Harry. No news on the Harry sequels unfortunately.

@ no doubt they’ll follow if Dirty Harry does well.

@@paulrose319 and I love it 😂 I might not buy thing while there but I do love looking through all the stuff !

@@PatrickIngham21 I very nearly dipped into the 3 for £40 too. Few in there were considerations, want to upgrade superman 2 & possibly 3 to 4k. Didnt want to be buying too much pre Christmas though. Never know what Santa may bring (or not, as generally my wife is fearful of picking anything physical media related as she worries that I’d already have it)

@PhillwithadoubleL I looked at the 3 for 40 but seem to own all the titles I would pick lol

@@HomeCinemaEnthusiast thanks man 🙏🏼 I’ve slowed off on launch titles. In fact, if I look back at my pick ups. I’ve really slowed off on the new movies on release… early pick ups have tended to be older titles getting the new restorations over the new movies 😱

@@SirMeowsAlot89 you made it 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thought the store was really great, it quite surprised me with the variety. While online ordering is convenient, there’s nothing quite like visiting the store and touching things ! Do plan at some point next year on visiting and even bigger one 😱

@@cyphersigma1 I was really surprised. Not seen a selection like that in store… ever !

@PhillwithadoubleL me either and I was in that store near the beginning of the year and it wasn't that stocked

@@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 I’ve said before that I don’t really need them and aren’t that bothered about them but then when it comes to purchases… it’s a consideration… and i don’t know why I do it 🤷🏼‍♂️ Need to break that weird habit
